Raquel: Oh the baptism was so amazing. It was so neat to watch her get baptized. I think the coolest part though was her testimony. She has the sweetest and strongest testimony. At her baptism she got the opportunity to share it. She bore a powerful testimony about prayer and how she had received an undeniable witness that this is the true church. She has worked through a ton to get her to where she is today! It was amazing to see it. Plus it's kinda cool. They're actually moving to Visalia here shortly so I'll be able to visit them! :D Tender mercies!!!
La familia Salvadoreña: Esta familia es increíble! A penas se muvieron de allí paraca. Conocimos al papa hace como 2 semanas. Enseñamos a él y no lo hemos visto desde entonces. Pues anoche tuvimos una inspiración de ir y visitarles. Que inspiración era!!! Todo su familia estaba y enseñamos a todos de ellos. El tiene 2 hijos. Una chica se llama Christela, ella tiene 16 años. Y tambien Marvin! El tiene 12 años. Les enseñamos la restauración!! El espíritu fue super fuerte en la lección. Tengo mucha esperanza por ellos!!!! Creo que todos van a progresar en el evangelio y llegar a ser bautizados. Yee :)
Amber: So this one is suuuper cool. It doesn't have anything to do with my area though. I was on an exchange with Elder Mo'o (one of the assistants). We were having a decent night but not really teaching a whole lot of people. We visited this lady named Amber who was a potential. She was super cool and friendly towards us. She told us she had quite a bit of family that were members of the church but that she didn't really have any interest in joining because she didn't believe quite a few points of our doctrine. Elder Mo'o and I shared an amazing lesson on the spirit and how God answers prayers. We talked about why it is so important to listen to your heart AND to your mind because that's how God communicates to us through the Holy Ghost. It was a spiritual lesson and we had a lot of hopes that her heart might be softened after that lesson and that she'd want to listen to us a little bit more.
So it was pretty cool but I didn't think a ton of it. Well yesterday I got a call from Elder Mo'o and Elder Checketts. They were super ecstatic and almost on the verge of yelling haha. They told me that Amber had actually come to church and stayed for all 3 hours she said that she had been super touched by our lesson a few nights before and she had taken it all to heart and was searching the scriptures and opened to a scripture that, paraphrasing, talks about the need for a restoration. She said that it was the first time that something started to make sense in her mind and that she felt with her heart as well! They set a date with her at church to be baptized on the 21st of May!!! It was a super cool miracle even though it didn't happen in my area! I might get to go back and see her baptism!!
Just some cool stories from this last week. There are many more and I'll share em with you some day! I love y'all so much and am so grateful for all the support! Please let me know if there's anything at all that I can do for y'all!! Tyler!! Keep preparing hard for the mission :) I'm so proud of you going through the temple! That is soooo awesome!
Love,
Elder Robertson
